Like?
Excellent camera for size - smaller than my mobile phone (SE k750i) - 5.0MP Resolution (2592x1440) Quick SD memory card writing, quick flash recoil. Auto-focus. Heaps of cool in-camera features like ISO, color replacement, B/W, Sepia, long exposure times, Heaps of WB settings. Deep colours. Great battery life.
Comes with a dock, remote control, AV leads for TV presenting your shots, Ability to pan-scan, zoom on TV with remote. Dock is also a charger - always ready.
Dislike?
Due to being a compact camera, flash output is crap for subjects 4-5m away. Only 2.4x zoom. Macro < 5cm is pathetic. No external flash options.
Overall: Great compact camera - probably one of the best, perfect for taking on a night out. But don't expect any SLR-like performance out of it.
